English summary: The differentiation between Etruscan and Roman sacrificial rituals is one of the fundamental problems in religious historical writing. Christiane Nasse shows that this assumption is based on a misinterpretation of key sources and features prevalent in a century of historical research. The critique leads to deconstruction: either the hypothesis of a dichotomy of extispicy appears plausible, or it is sufficiently defined as a "sacred linguistics," on which the research is essentially based. Following up on this question, the author investigates the critical sources for ritual slaughter according to historical referentiality on the one hand and textual dissociation on the other. She brings together late-antique commentators on Vergil such as Servius and Macrobius as well as laws from the Codex Theodosianus. Through individual analysis she throws a new light on the poetic representation of classical authors such as Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, Seneca and Silius Italicus, which renders essential the use of historical-critical methods on the one side and the basics of narratology on the other. German description: Die Unterscheidung von etruskischem und romischem Opferritual gehort zu den Grunduberzeugungen der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung. Christiane Nasse zeigt, dass diese Annahme auf einer Fehlinterpretation der zentralen Quellen und Besonderheiten einer hundertjahrigen Forschungsgeschichte beruht. Die Kritik fuhrt zu Dekonstruktionen: Weder erscheint die Hypothese von einer Dichotomie der Eingeweideschau plausibel, noch ist eine , Sakralsprachlichkeit', auf die sich die Forschung wesentlich stutzt, hinreichend definiert. Mit der Frage nach dem Historisch-Referentiellen auf der einen und nach literarischen Verfremdungen auf der anderen Seite untersucht die Autorin zentrale Quellen zu diesem Schlachtritus. Sie zieht spatantike Texte von Vergil-Erklarern wie Servius und Macrobius heran sowie Gesetze aus dem Codex Theodosianus. In Einzelanalysen wirft sie ein neues Licht auf die poetischen Darstellungen klassischer Autoren wie Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, Seneca und Silius Italicus. Grundlage hierfur bilden die historisch-kritische Methode einerseits und Ansatze aus der Erzahltheorie andererseits. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge 38; 408 pages

Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; Silvanus war einer der populärsten Götter in den Donauprovinzen. Er prägte das religiöse Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbevölkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten Städten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Phänomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen, gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erklärt. In Peripherie-Denken wird für diese Differenz eine neue Erklärung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begründung, sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse, die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren, stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion für die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religiöse Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar, es leistet auch einen Ansatz für eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge (Pawb) Band 35; 340 pages
In ancient Greece, religion and politics were inextricably linked. This symbiosis manifests itself particularly clearly in Greek sanctuaries as locations of both cult practices and political activities. A colloquium held at Munster aimed at analysing the formative function of trans-regional sanctuaries in mainland Greece and on the Greek islands in the genesis and legitimisation of political order in Greek tribal alliances and federal states from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. Religion und Politik waren im antiken Griechenland auf das Engste miteinander verwoben. Besonders deutlich manifestiert sich diese Symbiose in griechischen Heiligtumern als Orten kultischer Handlungen und zugleich politischen Agierens. Das Munsteraner Kolloquium analysiert die formative Funktion uberregionaler Heiligtumer in Griechenland und der griechischen Inselwelt bei der Genese und Legitimation von politischer Ordnung in griechischen Stammesbunden und Bundesstaaten von der archaischen bis in die hellenistische Zeit. ; 244 pages

Faint foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Numerous ancient texts describe human sacrifices and other forms of ritual killing: in 480 BC Themistocles sacrifices three Persian captives to Dionysus; human scapegoats called pharmakoi are expelled yearly from Greek cities, and according to some authors they are killed; Locrin girls are hunted down and slain by the Trojans; on Mt Lykaion children are sacrificed and consumed by the worshippers; and many other texts report human sacrifices performed regularly in the cult of the gods or during emergencies such as war and plague. Archaeologists have frequently proposed human sacrifice as an explanation for their discoveries: from Minoan Crete children's bones with knife-cut marks, the skeleton of a youth lying on a platform with a bronze blade resting on his chest, skeletons, sometimes bound, in the dromoi of Mycenaean and Cypriot chamber tombs; and dual man-woman burials, where it is suggested that the woman was slain or took her own life at the man's funeral. If the archaeologists' interpretations and the claims in the ancient sources are accepted, they present a bloody and violent picture of the religious life of the ancient Greeks, from the Bronze Age well into historical times. But the author expresses caution. In many cases alternative, if less sensational, explanations of the archaeological are possible; and it can often be shown that human sacrifices in the literary texts are mythical or that late authors confused mythical details with actual practices. Whether the evidence is accepted or not, this study offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious thought of the ancient Greeks and into changing modern conceptions of their religious behaviour.; 8.8 X 5.7 X 1.3 inches; 316 pages

This work brings together the evidence for statue dedications on the Acropolis in the sixth and fifth centuries B. C. , including inscribed statues bases that preserve information about the dedicators and the evidence for lost bronze sculptures. Catherine Keesling questions the standard interpretation of the korai as generic and anonymous votaries, while revealing more about the origins and significance of Greek portraiture.; 10.0 X 7.2 X 0.9 inches; 290 pages

Very light shelfwear. ; The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens—the city dedicated to Athena, goddess of war, fertility, arts, and wisdom—was the Panathenaia. Challenging old assumptions and refuting new theories, Worshipping Athena addresses the many problems of interpretation and understanding that have swirled for years around the Panathenaia. Among the issues discussed is the recent sensational controversy over the Parthenon frieze, perhaps the best known but least understood work of Greek art. For centuries the frieze has been thought to represent the Panathenaia procession, but recently the argument has been advanced that it depicts the sacrifice of the daughters of the Athenian king Erechtheus. Worshipping Athena offers compelling evidence that the frieze does indeed depict the festal procession and also demonstrates that scenes of contemporary ritual were not unique to the Parthenon. Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors—eminent classicists, archaeologists, and art historians—explore the role of the Panathenaia in Athenian life and compare it with similar festivals held throughout the ancient Greek world. They discuss such topics as the Panathenaia’s mythical origins, the phenomenon of the festival’s valuable prizes (oil-filled amphoras, rather than the customary laurel wreath) , and the architecture, sculpture, and painting related to the festival. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 224 pages
Light bumping to 2 corners. Scholar's name to ffep (Elaine Fantham). Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 304 pages; Book IV of Ovid's celebration of the calendar and the associated legends of the Roman year treats the month of April, a particularly happy phase of the Augustan ceremonial year. Around the festival of Venus and the anniversary of the foundation of Rome, Ovid retells the legends of Rome's royal founder Romulus and the Trojan hero Aeneas. The introduction and commentary pay special attention to Ovid's art as a poet, but aim to provide both the general background and specific explanations of his historical and religious material.; Signed by Editor
